Attention
Attention refers to the ability to select relevant information for further processing while filtering out irrelevant information.
I study the neurophysiological mechanisms implemented in fronto-parietal cortical networks during the orienting and re-orienting of visuospatial attention and their effects on information processing in sensory cortices.
